The global skills and competency framework for the digital world

#1523 Extend Hardware Design (HWDE) to data centre design (or add new skill) change request pending

Data center design (covering layout, heat management, security, etc) is a critical skill, even though many organisations are moving to the cloud

Could this be expanded to include data centre design (or perhaps that could be a seperate skill)?

Proposed change applies to Hardware design

Current status of this request: pending

Disagree with inclusion in HWDE - the scope is entirely separate. If Datacentre design needs a dedicated skill it should align with facilities design and management standards and not infringe on hardware engineering.
